Draft Grade — Rams
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Higgins should have been long gone. The Rams pounced, and earned a C+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Rams did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Green lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on Abdul Carter that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 17 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 82 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Emery Jones Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 118 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Mario Williams
Mario Williams at Round 6, Pick 19 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in the 195th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
They reached into another round for Phillip Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
